To all whom fit 'may concern.'

Be it known that I, HENRY H. TAYLOR, a citizen of the United States, residing at Bridgeport, in the county of Fairfield and device are cross section.

State of Connecticut, have invented certain newy and useful Improvements in Pompadour-Rolls; and I do .hereby declare the fols lowing to be a full, clear, and exact descri tion of the invention, such as will enab e others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

M y invention relates to certain improvements in pom adour rolls such as are used by Women tor the purpose of producing a certain eect in the arrangement ofthe hair, and consists of the construction and arrangement hereinafter ully described and then particularly oint-ed out in the claims which concludes t is application. t

Heretoore bustles have been made from a Woven wire blank cut on the bias, with the Wire-edges contracted to throw up the proper fullness or bulge eiiect in the' body of the bustle, the edges of the wires being subse-` quently b'ound to clamp the same and preserve this effect, attention in this respect Y being calledI to U.- S.

The present invention diiiers from a Abustle in that great care is taken to cover the edges of the wires so that they will beseft and ileXi-' ble and will not injure the scalp, While the l Specification ofLetters Patente` "I Patent'edfMarch 24, 1908,; 55 pliitarion sied November 6,1907. serial No. 401,009. l l

' roll itself is provided at the sides and ends with eyelets through which hairpins may be inserted for the purpose of keeping the device in' osition upon the head of the wearer; also, a acking is used which not only affords a c ufshion against the head of the wearer, but

is s o secured to the edges of the roll that the back lof the latter is' drawn t the irroper ,l 1 represents the woven wire blank cut on .the bias from which the roll is made, 2 the paper strip Which is bound around the edges of the blank after 4said edges have been contracted to give the'proper fullness to the body ofthe roll, 3 is the backing which is preferably inade'of cloth the edges of which are assembled beneath the paper binder, the sides of the Aroll being slightl f contracted so that whentliel binder and tie backing are stitchec in position the latter will be taut, 4 is the t fe which is bound around the edges of the r l over the paper binding, and 5 the e-'elets which are inserted at the sides and at .the ends ofthe completed roll.

The device will retain its sha e permanently for the reason that the bac 'ng is ses cured to the edges of the roll at a tension, and thisbacking at the saine time atfords a yielding cushion which renders the device very comfortable to the head of the wearer. It will be observed that the bound edges of the roll extend considerably. beyond the plane of the backing and in angular disposition thereto, and the object of this is to afford a soft resilient 'seat for the roll. Fig. 7j has been drawn on an enlarged scale and special prominence has been given to the bound edge in order that the fact may be appreciatedthat this edge will spread and have a; resilientaction.

What l claim as new and desire to secure b vLetters Patent is 1. A ponipadour roll comprising a body portion made from a woven wire blank cut on the bias, the edges ofsaid blank being contracted to give the required fullness to said body, a backing secured at a tension to the rear portion of the contracted body by means of a pape-r binder stitched around said edges, a tape bound around said ed es outside of the paper binder, said bound et ges being soft and flexible and extending beyond the plane of said backing, and eye ets set within the rollat the ends and the lsides thereof.
